In the latest FIFA rankings, Spain has successfully reached the top, regaining the world's No. 1 spot after 12 years. In the first two rounds of the European preliminaries, they ranked first with a complete victory record. Georgia has 1 win, 1 loss and 3 points, ranking second in the group.

Yamal, who is worth 200 million euros, is injured, but Spain is still strong. Oyarzabal, Ferran Torres and Pino form the offensive line, Pedri, Suvimendi and Merino sit in the midfield, and Kubasi and Lenormand lead the defense. For Georgia, Kvaratshelia, Mikotadze and Mamardashvili all appeared.

In the 7th minute, there was a controversial penalty on the court. Ferran Torres fell to the ground on the edge of the penalty area. The referee immediately awarded a set kick. The Spanish player complained that the opponent had committed a foul in the penalty area and requested a penalty kick. However, after the referee reviewed it in person, not only did he not award a penalty, but he also believed that there was no foul and changed the penalty to Georgia's backcourt drop ball.

In the 19th minute, Spain played with smooth coordination. Suvimendi passed the ball, Pino made the pass, and Oyarzabal nodded the ball and missed.

In the 24th minute, Spain made a comeback, Pedri passed the ball from the middle, Lenormand crossed the line, and Pino hit the ball into the net, 1-0!

In the 29th minute, Pedri launched a counterattack with a long pass over the top. Devali made a clearance and kicked the ball as a gift. Ferran Torres was knocked to the ground by Mamardashvili in a single shot. The referee decisively signaled a penalty kick.

Oyazabal gave up the right to take the penalty, and Ferran Torres took it personally, but was saved by Mamardashvili.

In the 45th minute, Oyazábal broke through from the right and hit Merino with a volley in front of the goal.

Change sides and fight again. In the 49th minute, Polo made a long pass from the right. Mamardashvili made a mistake. Ferran Torres single-handedly passed the goalkeeper, then pushed the empty goal and hit the side net. The Barcelona forward wasted one opportunity after another.

In the 64th minute, Spain got a set kick at the edge of the penalty area. Polo made a false shot, and Oyarzabal followed up with a blast that hit the upper left corner of the goal. Mamardashvili was helpless, 2-0!

In the 70th minute, Suvimendi broke through from the left and passed and shot from a small angle to the back point. Unfortunately, his teammates failed to follow up and watched the ball slide past.
